The Arizona Diamondbacks’ offense is set to receive a boost as Aaron Hill rejoins the fold.

The team announced it reinstated the second baseman from the 15-day DL Tuesday after he played six rehab games for Triple-A Reno, where he hit .375.

Hill, 31, was batting .306 with two home runs and six RBI in 10 games for the D-backs before suffering a broken hand due to an errant pitch from Pittsburgh’s James McDonald on April 9. He last appeared for the D-backs on April 14 against the Dodgers.

To make room for Hill, the D-backs optioned pitcher Joe Paterson to Reno.
